Components of a Group
A Cisco CallManager group is a prioritized list of up to three Cisco CallManagers. the primary Cisco CallManager in a group controls call processing for all the registered devices (such as phones and gateways) associated with a group. You can combine the groups and device pools in various ways to achieve the desired level of redundancy. For example.Chapter 3 Groups and Clusters
Understanding Redundancy
A group is a list of Cisco CallManagers that is assigned to one or more device pools to provide redundant call processing. You use Cisco CallManager Administration to define the groups.

If the device was manually added to the database. the device requests the load associated with the new load ID from the TFTP server and resets itself. the phone attempts to auto-register itself in the Cisco CallManager database. an alternate TFTP server IP address can still be configured locally on the phone that will override the TFTP address obtained through DHCP. This is the method Cisco recommends. After obtaining the configuration file from the TFTP server.

The phone or gateway always tries to resolve the DNS name CiscoCM1. It is not necessary to name the TFTP server CiscoCM1.

Setting Up Cisco IP Phones for Use with Cisco WebAttendant
Cisco WebAttendant works in conjunction with a Cisco IP Phone. The MAC address that is defined in the Settings dialog box of the Cisco WebAttendant application links the Cisco CallManager. and the Cisco IP Phone. This means that the IP Address or Host Name field in the Cisco Telephony Call Dispatcher Settings section of the client Settings dialog box should be the address of the Cisco CallManager server to which the Cisco IP Phone is normally registered. Configure the Cisco WebAttendant client to connect to the same Cisco CallManager server as its associated Cisco IP Phone.

Cisco IP Phones used with Cisco WebAttendant must meet the following guidelines:
• • •
Use Cisco WebAttendan with any Cisco IP Phone 7960/7940 models. Configure a maximum of eight lines for use with Cisco WebAttendant. The number of Smart Lines (SLs) available on Cisco WebAttendant is the same as the number of lines configured on the phone button template for the Cisco IP Phone. page 32-14 Understanding Default Phone Button Templates. ensure the phone has a headset button (Cisco IP Phone 7960/740 models) or an Answer/Release button assigned on the phone’s button template (older Cisco IP Phone models). Directory numbers assigned to a Cisco IP Phone that is used with Cisco WebAttendant must not appear on any other device in the system. page 47-1 Configuring Cisco IP Phones. Do not use a shared line appearance on any phone that will be used with Cisco WebAttendant.

Ensure the pilot point number is unique throughout the system (it cannot be a shared line appearance). TCD checks whether the line is available (not busy) and if it is. If the user is logged in and online. and the line is available.

If a directory number is specified. routes the call. TCD routes the call. TCD checks whether the user is logged in to a Cisco WebAttendant and online before checking whether the line is available. the Telephony Call Dispatcher uses the hunt group list for that pilot point to determine the call destination. A hunt group comprises a list of destinations that determine the call redirection order.
•
When a call comes in to a pilot point.
•
A pilot point is a virtual directory number for which the Telephony Call Dispatcher receives and directs calls based on a list of hunt group members. The advantage of specifying a user and line number instead of a directory number is that the Cisco WebAttendant user can be logged in and online at any Cisco IP Phone controlled by Cisco WebAttendant software in the cluster and receive calls.Chapter 8 Configuring Cisco CallManager for Cisco WebAttendant

Configuring Date/Time Groups
Use Date/Time Groups to define time zones for the various devices connected to Cisco CallManager. Each device is a member of only one device pool, and each device pool is assigned only one Date/Time Group. A default Date/Time Group called CMLocal is configured automatically when you install Cisco CallManager. CMLocal is synchronized to the active date and time of the operating system on the server where Cisco CallManager is installed. After installing Cisco CallManager, you can change the settings for CMLocal as desired. Normally, server date/time should be adjusted to the local time zone date and time.

Note

CMLocal resets to the operating system date and time whenever you restart Cisco CallManager or upgrade the Cisco CallManager software to a new release. Do not change the name of CMLocal.

Tips

For a worldwide distribution of Cisco IP Phones, create one named Date/Time Group for each of the 24 time zones. Use the following procedures to add, update, or delete Date/Time Groups:
• • •

Configuring Regions
Use regions to specify the type of compression and amount of bandwidth used per call. You can select the compression and bandwidth used for calls within a region and between two regions. Use the following procedures to add, update, or delete regions:
• • •

Understanding Regions
The compression types available in Cisco CallManager are G.711, G.723, and G.729. The default compression type for all calls through Cisco CallManager is G.711. To specify a different compression type, you must use regions. The bandwidth used per call depends on the compression type as well as factors such as data packet size and overhead (packet header size), as indicated in Table 16-1.

The following matrix shows the compression type that will be used for calls within and between Regions A, B, and C for the example configuration shown in Figure 16-1. Region A Region A Region B Region C G.711 G.723 G.723 Region B G.723 G.723 G.711 Region C G.723 G.711 G.723

Call admission control enables you to regulate voice quality by limiting the amount of bandwidth available for calls over links between the locations. Figure 19-1 illustrates the hub-and-spoke topology and its use with Cisco CallManager admission control. see the “Understanding Call Admission Control” section on page 5-1. Cisco CallManager requires that you arrange the locations in a hub-and-spoke topology (also know as a star topology).

Configuring Locations
Use locations to implement call admission control in a centralized call processing system. The spokes are remote locations that contain other devices (such as phones and gateways) on the same network. The hub is the location of the primary Cisco CallManager that controls call processing on the network. This can cause the voice quality of each call to degrade as the link becomes oversubscribed.

Using the External Route Plan Wizard Setting the Routing Options

Procedure
Step 1

Check the boxes for Local call fallback, Toll bypass fallback, Long distance fallback, International call fallback, and Equal access suppression as appropriate.

Note

If you choose local call fallback, toll bypass fallback, long distance fallback, or international call fallback, the external route plan wizard includes route groups with remote gateways in the associated route lists.

Step 2

Enter the access code for calls that are routed to remote or local gateways in the “Access code for toll bypass and fallback calls” field. Use only numeric values. (Many systems use 9 for external calls.)

Note

The access code entered in this field applies to the entire dial plan. Only one access code is allowed per dial plan.

Step 3

Enter the access code for callas between the Cisco CallManager and the adjacent PBX “Access code for extensions served by a connected PBX” field. (Many systems use 8 for calls to adjacent PBX systems.) Click Next.

Providing Tenant Information
The following procedure describes how to add tenant information for the external route plan.
Procedure
Step 1

Enter the tenant name in the Tenant Name field. (This is generally the name of the organization for which the route plan is being built.)

Note

We recommend that you use a short tenant name because it is incorporated in the calling search space and partition names.

Step 2

Enter the number of geographical locations associated with the organization in the “Number of physical locations in the entire system” field. This field should reflect the all Cisco CallManagers in the system that use unique area codes. The default number of locations is two. Click Next.

Entering Location Information
The Location Entry page provides information for the number of locations specified on the Tenant Information page. The following procedure describes how to add location information for the external route plan.
Procedure
Step 1

Enter the name of the location in the Location Name field if it is different from the one shown. Each location name must be unique for the tenant to which it applies. Enter the local area codes available at this location in the Local Area Code(s) field. (Local area codes are all area codes in the calling area that are not considered to be long distance calls.) If your area includes more than one local (toll free) area code, use commas to separate the area codes in the list. Place the primary local area code first, followed by the secondary, and tertiary local area codes.

Step 2

Note

The primary local area code is used to set prefix digits on local route patterns. If the primary area code is not listed in the correct order, it adversely affects route filter generation.

Step 3 Step 4

Enter the 7- or 10-digit number that is the main number for the organization at this location. Specify the number of digits required for local calls at this location. The route plan wizard uses this information to determine how many route lists to create for this location. If you select 10-digit or 7-digit dialing, the wizard creates one route list for this location. If you select Metro dialing, the wizard creates two route lists for the location.

Step 5

Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to add location information for other locations.

Selecting Gateways
The following procedure describes how to select gateways for the external route plan.

Caution

Do not select gateways that are used by existing route groups or route patterns. The wizard uses all ports on the selected gateway. If you select a gateway that is used by existing route groups or route patterns, the external route plan wizard will overwrite the previously configured ports.
Procedure

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Check the boxes for all the gateways associated with this route plan in all locations. Click Select All if you want to include all the gateways defined in the system. Click Select None if you have selected several gateways and want to deselect all of your selections.

Note

You must select at least one gateway before continuing with this procedure.

Select the gateway location in the “Location of the gateway” drop-down list box. Select the type of connection for this gateway in the “Type of carrier to which the gateway is connected” drop-down list box. Specify the calling number that will be sent to the adjacent switch when a call is routed through this gateway. Check the Discard dialed access code... check box if this gateway is connected to a PBX that does not require the Cisco CallManager access code. Enter the range of directory numbers or extension numbers associated with the adjacent PBX. Use commas to separate multiple entries. Use X wildcard characters to specify ranges of digits. For example, if the PBX serves extensions numbered 8000 through 8999 and 9000 through 9999, enter 8XXX,9XXX to create route patterns for the identified directory number ranges.

Note

If you provide directory number ranges, the wizard generates one route list for each unique range (route pattern) you enter. If you provide an access code for the directory number ranges and do not check the Discard dialed access code... check box, the wizard generates one route list for each unique range (route pattern) you enter, and precedes each route list with the access code and a dot (.).

The wizard can take several minutes to generate the external route plan, depending on the complexity of the route plan and the system load. Please do not start additional processes that would further load the system during this time. Click Cancel to prevent the external route plan wizard from generating this route plan.

Note

If you click Cancel, all data associated with the current route plan is discarded. This action cannot be undone. The information must be re-entered.

Check the external route plan wizard status report to ensure that the route plan contains the proper elements. Click Next to complete the external route plan.

Note

We strongly recommend that you print the status report for future reference.

If you determine that the external route plan is incorrect based on the information shown in the status report, proceed to the final page of the external route plan wizard. The final page allows you to delete the entire route plan, if needed.

Finishing the External Route Plan
Click Finish to complete the external route plan if the information shown on the external route plan wizard status report is correct. Click Delete External Route Plan to remove all data generated by the external route plan wizard if the information shown on the status report is incorrect.

Deleting an External Route Plan
The following procedure describes how to delete an external route plan. If any element generated by the external route plan wizard is being used in the system (for example, if Cisco IP Phones belong to a generated partition), the delete function will fail. If generated elements are used, the system components that are using those elements must be moved to non-generated elements before using the delete function.

Using the External Route Plan Wizard

Warning

This procedure deletes all data that has been generated by the external route plan wizard. This action cannot be undone. All external route plan information must be re-entered. Procedure

Using Route Plan Report
The route plan report is a listing of all call park numbers, call pickup numbers, conference numbers, route patterns and translation patterns in the system. The route plan report allows you to view either a partial or full list, and to go directly to the associated configuration pages, by selecting a route pattern, partition, route group, route list, call park number, call pickup number, conference number, or gateway. In addition, the route plan report allows you to save report data into a .csv file that you can import into other applications. The .csv file contains more detailed information than the web pages, including directory numbers (DN) for phones, route patterns, and translation patterns. The Cisco CallManager uses the route plan to route both internal calls and external (Public Switched Telephone Network [PSTN]) calls. For more detailed information on the route plan, see the “Understanding Route Plans” section on page 6-1. Use the following procedures to view all route plan records:

Understanding Conference Devices
For conferencing, you must determine the total number of concurrent users (or audio streams) required at any given time. Then you create and configure a device to support the calculated number of streams. These audio streams can be used for one large conference, or several small conferences. For example, a conference device that was created with 20 streams would provide for one conference of 20 participants, or five conferences with four participants each (or any other combination that adds up to 20 total participants). The total number of conferences supported by each conference device is calculated by taking the total number of streams (for example, 20) and dividing by three. Therefore, in the example, you can have twenty divided by three (20/3) or six conferences supported by the conference device.

Caution

Although conference devices can be installed on the same PC as the Cisco CallManager, we strongly recommend against this. If conference devices are installed on the same PC as the Cisco CallManager, it can adversely affect the performance on the Cisco CallManager.

Two Types of Conferences: Meet-Me and Ad-Hoc
Cisco CallManager supports both Meet-Me conferences and Ad-Hoc conferences. Meet-Me conferences allow users to dial into a conference. Ad-Hoc conferences allow the conference controller to let only certain participants into the conference. Meet-Me conferences require that a range of directory numbers be allocated for their exclusive use. When a Meet-Me conference is set up, the conference controller selects a directory number and advertises it to members of the group. The users call the directory number to join the conference. Anyone who calls the directory number while the conference is active, joins the conference. (This is true provided that the maximum number of participants specified for that conference type has not been exceeded, and sufficient streams are available on the conference device.) Ad-Hoc conferences are controlled by the conference controller. The conference controller individually calls and adds each participant to the conference. Any number of parties can be added to the conference up to the maximum number of participants specified for Ad-Hoc conferences, and provided that sufficient streams are available on the conference device.
Related Topics
• • • • • • • •

Using an Ad-Hoc Conference Bridge
When you initiate an Ad-Hoc conference, you are considered the conference controller. In an Ad-Hoc conference, only a conference controller can add participants to a conference. If other participants attempt to conference, the Cisco CallManager ignores the signals. When the conference controller initiates a conference call, the Cisco CallManager places the current call on hold, flashes the conference lamp, and provides dial tone to the user. At the dial tone, the conference controller dials the next conference participant and when the user answers, presses Conference again to complete the conference. The Cisco CallManager then connects the conference controller, the first participant, and the new conference participant to a conference bridge. Each participant’s Cisco IP Phone display reflects the connection to the conference. Participants can leave a conference by simply hanging up and terminating the conference call. A conference continues even if the conference controller hangs up, although the remaining conference participants cannot add new participants to the conference.

Using a Meet-Me Conference Bridge
When you initiate a Meet-Me conference by pressing Meet-Me on the phone, you are considered the conference controller. The conference controller provides the directory number for the conference to all attendees, who can then dial that directory number to join the conference. If other participants in a Meet-Me conference press Meet-Me, the Cisco CallManager ignores the signals. The conference controller selects a directory number from the range specified for the conference device. The Cisco CallManager Administrator should provide the conference directory number range to users so they can access the feature. When you, the conference controller, initiate a conference call by pressing Meet-Me, the Cisco CallManager provides dial tone to you. At the dial tone, you can dial the conference directory number to create the conference. The Cisco CallManager then connects you to the conference. Participants can join the conference by dialing the specified directory number. You hear a tone each time a participant joins the conference. Participants can leave a conference by hanging up the conference call. A conference continues even if you, the conference controller, hangs up.

A default phone button template is provided for each Cisco IP Phone model. The default templates can be used as is to quickly configure phones. They can also be copied and modified to create custom templates. Custom templates enable you to make features available on some or all phones, restrict the use of certain features to certain phones, configure a different number of lines or speed dials for some or all phones, and so on, depending on how the phone will be used. For example, you may want to create a custom template that can be applied to phones that will be used in conference rooms.

Adding Phone Button Templates
Creating and using templates is a fast way to assign a common button configuration to a large number of phones. For example, if users in your company do not use the conference feature, you can create a template that reassigns this button to a different feature, such as speed dial. Default templates for each Cisco IP phone model are included with the Cisco CallManager. When adding phones, you can assign one of these templates to the phone, or create one of your own.
Before You Begin

If you are creating a custom phone button template, refer to the to the guidelines for creating new phone button templates. See the “Guidelines for Creating Custom Templates” section on page 47-7.
Procedure
Step 1 Step 2

Open Cisco CallManager Administration. Select Device > Phone Button Template. Decide which method to use to create this template:
•

Based on existing template—the new template exactly duplicates the existing template. You must update this new template if you want it to be different from the original. New design for a specific phone—You must set up each button individually.

• Step 3

Choose a method to create this template:
•

Select a template and click Copy to create a new template. The new template exactly duplicates the existing template and automatically assigns it a new name. You must update this new template if you want it to be different than the original.

•

Select a phone and click Continue to create a new template and assign each button individually. The new template is preset with only the required settings for that specific phone type.

Guidelines for Creating Custom Templates
Use the following guidelines when creating custom phone button templates:
•

Be sure that phone users receive a quick reference card or getting started guide that describes the most basic features of the custom template. If you create a custom template to be used by employees in your company, ensure that it includes the following features and that you describe them on the quick reference card you create for your users:
– Cisco IP Phone 7960, 7940— Line (one or more). – Cisco IP Phone 7910—Forward all. – Cisco IP Phone 12 SP+—Line (one or more), hold, call park, and

Consider the nature of each feature in order to determine how to configure your phone button template. You might want multiple buttons assigned to Speed Dial and Line. However, you will usually require only one of the other features described in Table 47-2. For each feature you select, you must also select the number of times you would like this feature to appear on the phone button template (the Feature Index). Most features appear only once. The feature index tells the user which line or speed dial corresponds to that button (for example, Line 1, Speed Dial 2, and so on).

Silence Detection
If you use silence detection. However. you must specify the energy level at which the wave driver declares that silence is in effect. if you enter “5” here. If some phones or gateways on your network do not perform silence suppression. This number is the maximum number of lines that can be simultaneously opened using both LINEMEDIAMODE_AUTOMATEDVOICE and LINEMEDIAMODE_INTERACTIVEVOICE. If the checkbox is checked (default).Chapter Configuring the Cisco TAPI Service Provider

Table 0-1 contains a list of the fields that must be set and their descriptions:
Table 0-1 Cisco IP-PBX Service Provider Configuration Fields
Field group Automated Voice Calls
Description The number of Cisco wave devices you are using determines the number of possible automated voice lines (the default is five). Because all devices on the network suppress silence and stop sending packets. check the option to Enumerate only lines that support automated voice so that the Cisco TSP sees only lines associated with a CTI port device. the system ignores this value. and the default is 200. the wave driver looks for the absence of audio stream RTP packets. the wave driver must analyze the content of the media stream and at some threshold. this checkbox informs the wave driver which method to use to detect silence on lines that support automated voice calls using the Cisco Wave Driver. If you change this number. you also need to remove and then reinstall any Cisco wave devices that you installed. For example. this provides a very efficient method for the wave driver to detect silence. If all phones and gateways perform silence suppression. If you are not developing a third-party call control application. We recommend that you use one line per device. You need to create the same number of CTI port devices in the Cisco CallManager. This value of the 16-bit linear PCM energy level has a range of zero to 32767. declare that silence is in effect.

. if some phones or gateways do not perform silence suppression. you need to create five CTI port devices in Cisco CallManager. This method is CPU-intensive but handles media streams from any type of device.

If the CallManager is on a different machine. no notification goes to the TSP about the new device. The Cisco TSP returns these lines to the application when the Cisco TSP issues lineInitializeEx. The TSP uses the CallManager directory to retrieve devices for a user. If a device is added to a user's control list from the CallManager user administration pages.Chapter
